No, but it’s common knowledge that Walmart, as a corporation, won’t cease to exist if they decide to not raise prices and choose other paths to cut costs to them. E.g in their store brand, supply chains etc etc. the argument I’m making is that Walmart can deal with the tariffs in a way that doesn’t

Well the question was who to blame for the price increases. I said blame both and gave my reasoning as to why Walmart is also to blame. Walmart, as a corporation will be fine either way, whether they increase their prices or find other ways to cut costs and support their profit margins to combat

I am not an economist by any means, so this is just my layman-social-media-comment-section-level take on this. I also don’t know what price hike Walmart has proposed, I assume it’s way above what is necessary and the tariffs are just a convenient excuse (like we’ve seen with inflation).

Imagine no major news outlet reporting his shitty parade? That would be bliss. If we all just collectively decide to talk about something entirely different that day. Something peaceful

You can blame Trump and Walmart. You can’t make record profits and also claim that you cannot eat some of the costs for tariffs. I’m pretty sure Walmart would be fine simply NOT raising prices on their customers and reducing profits…maybe that would even pave a way to fair pricing policy

I’m 100% convinced that Trump does not know what exactly is happening in the Ukraine and has no understanding of the complicated and hostile history between Russia and Ukraine. Like any average person.. except that he’s the President and commander in chief 😩
